Colorless, stable liquid. Miscible with water, viscosity 1.0 cP (20C),
flash p 114F (45.5C) (TOC). Combustible.
Catalyst for polyurethane foams and epoxy
resins; high-energy fuels.
Highly flammable. Slowly decomposes in air. Water soluble.
N,N,N',N'-TETRAMETHYL-1,3-BUTANEDIAMINE may be sensitive to air and heat . Can burn in air to give toxic NOx gases . Neutralizes acids in exothermic reactions to form salts plus water. May be incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, peroxides, phenols (acidic), epoxides, anhydrides, and acid halides. Flammable gaseous hydrogen may be generated in combination with strong reducing agents, such as hydrides.
N,N,N',N'-TETRAMETHYL-1,3-BUTANEDIAMINE is combustible.
